Aaron Donald's private text messages with ex-girlfriend Jaelynn Blakey were revealed in court filings this week, exposing a bitter dispute over a French bulldog Donald says bit their two children multiple times, according to TMZ.

In one exchange, Donald pressed Blakey over whether the dog was still in her home after he says it "bit 3 people in the face," while Blakey denied hiding the animal. A court order filed Aug. 3 shows Blakey ultimately agreed to permanently remove the dog from her home. The filings surfaced just as Donald prepares for his surprise return to the NFL this season.
